INTRODUCTION

A complete sketching solution for beginners, hobbyists and artists looking to brush up on their drawing skills, with tuition by pro artists.

The Sketch Workshop is 3dtotal's answer to the question: 'Why can't I draw like that?' Designed for beginners and hobbyists, it's a fun and innovative way for people of all ages to find the inspiration to pick up a pencil anddraw. Different to other books in the 3dtotal range, it is 50-percent a workbook in which you draw and 50-percent a project guide with instructional text and reference images for drawing anatomy and characters. Created by a number of top industry artists, they share their tips and tricks and help you grasp the fundamental elements needed to craft beautiful sketches.

There are four other titles in the Sketch Workshop workbooks series, including: Creatures, Cityscapes, Characters, and Anatomy. Also in the Sketch Workshop product range is a leather-style folder to hold your workbooks and sketching supplies. Don't forget to add your drawing tools to the basket if you want us to send you a bundle of high-quality pencils, drawing pens, a putty rubber and dual pencil sharpener to get you started! You can also buy the full bundle and save money!

Fun book, glad I bought it!

Value

I'm a technical illustrator, and all of my work in the last 20 years or more has been on the computer. Robots & Spaceships gives me a chance to go back to my drawing roots and into sketching again. The book is filled with great examples, hints, tips, and techniques that make 22nd Century drawing a kick in the rear. Great workshop book. Can't recommend it more highly!Review by Ron(Posted on 06/10/2016)

Great Book

Value

I've never been great at drawing, but this book has helped me improve so much! Not only has it helped me improve my skill, it's also opened my mind to more ideas and styles of robots and spacecrafts! I highly recommend these books to anyone who wants to learn or improve on what they already posess and I plan on buying myself some more soon!Review by Adam(Posted on 05/09/2016)

Very helpful

Value

These workbooks are a great way to end your "artist block". Step by step instructions for each of the examples provided in the book, as well as the artist's thoughts to provide guidance. I bought the full sketch workshop and found it very useful, hence why this purchase (I did not include this as one of my Sketch workbooks). Highly recommended!Review by Danny(Posted on 05/12/2014)
